Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots
Even Trade Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Miami acquired linebacker Steve Kiner from New England on August 4, 1972 for offensive tackle Bill Griffin. The historical record supports one Griffin in the exchange, not two separate players. Kiner was waived by Miami before the regular season, while Griffin never produced regular-season NFL value for New England. With neither side realizing meaningful on-field return, this belongs as an even trade.
